In January 2019, our judges will pick 5 finalists who will be awarded Finalist Development Grants of $500,000 each to develop their products.
Entry Path 1
You don’t require additional financial support to develop and submit your entry, so you can enter the Challenge directly.
We know that some innovators may need further financial support to enter the Challenge. Therefore we will be offering 10 seed funding grants of $50,000 through our Discovery Awards in April 2018.
The Discovery Awards are now closed. You can still enter the main Challenge - the deadline is 15 August 2018.
Entry Path 2
You require financial support to enter the Challenge, so you can apply for a Discovery Award, and are successful. Then you use the Discovery Award funding to enter the Challenge.
Entry Path 3
You require financial support to enter the Challenge, so you apply for a Discovery Award, but are unsuccessful. However, you are still able to enter the Challenge directly.
To enter the main Challenge, you will need to enter using an online form that can be accessed via our submission platform.

Please note we only accept entries submitted electronically.
The deadline for entries is 23:59 BST on the 15 August 2018.
